Int 2 mathsExam was torture for me, being doing past papers all yesterday been getting A's and B's no problem. Turn after the first page in paper one and haven't a clue what's going on.
Heres hoping i could scrape a C, maybe give me a shot at higher. Anyone know what the grade boundaries have been in recent years ? -

Re: Int 2 mathsDidn't do it, i didn't learn those as they are really complicated! What did you do for 13 about the global warming?(Original post by freedom123)
Me too, paper 1 was unbelievable, i dont have a clue what SQA were playing at! However, Paper 2 i did not have any problems, what did anyone get for the last question? -

Exam was seriously a nightmare! Paper one - hell and I lost at least 15 marks in paper 2
totally gutted - been doing really well on past papers! "Exam conditions" were a pure joke too - people coming in 5 mins late for both papers, fire alarm going off and the invigilator was chatting on his phone! Argh

Re: Int 2 mathsThe global warming one I didn't have a clue, i was looking about the place for a number to x by 0.85 to the power of 4, didn't really know what to do and trig identity question i ended up with 1 somehow, never really learned them as said above they are complicated so just guessed.

Re: Int 2 mathsThat's exactly what i did! Yeah I was also confused why would it be 4 marks?(Original post by freedom123)
I did, 15 x 4 = 60%,
So i just said, "Yes, we will meet the target."
It seemed to simple for 4 marks, so i dont know if ive missed the whole point of the question!!
In paper 1, what did you get for the surd question?
Paper 1 was so weird! I opened the first pages and I was like whaaaaa, is this a non calculator paper? Finding the mean of the football match attendance was so confusing!
On the surds question I got root 4, although don't know if that's correct....Last edited by SQA; 21-05-2012 at 12:48. -

Yeah i got root 4 for the surd, but then can that not be simplified to 2 root 2? -

Re: Int 2 mathsno they didn't reach the target you do 100 x 0.85^4 which leaves you with 52.2% meaning that they are now at 52.2 percent of what they were in 2010 so they have only cut it by 47.8% meaning they were 2.2% short(Original post by SQA)
